Night Out at IT Park

IT WAS A LOT OF FUN! Although sadly, one of our closest friends, Jan Patrice Lim, wasn't able to come with us. Last August 27, 2010, after we celebrated Mary Monic Angeline Cuizon's birthday, we decided to spend the night at IT Park. Queenie Rose Tugano bought the cloth sheet for us to sit on (though we actually slept on it. we looked like fishes inside a sardines can. LOL).

At first, we just talked and talked, then our dancers suddenly started showing off some of their moves, and after that, we settled down and just chatted while lying down staring at the full moon. It was really an unforgettable experience.

Apparently, I had to go to Leyte whether I like it or not last August 28, 2010. It was because my aunt was going to celebrate her birthday. However, we(me and my mom) went there a day before my aunt's birthday. It was exactly 10:16pm when the ship started to go. I just slept the whole ride until we got there around 3pm at the pier at Leyte.

I was enjoying the whole day when we took a look at the forest area where apparently, our family owned some piece of land. I didn't know that. It's such a waste that we can't make much use of it since we live here in Cebu. Well, anyway, it was fun when I climbed the mango tree to get some fruits (my animal instincts were awakened. LOL).

I totally had fun until I knew that I couldn't go home early for the press-work. I complained and complained until I finally got them to agree that I'll go home earlier and alone. The shitty part of it is that the only ride that was early enough ports at Bogo, Cebu. That's 3 hours away from Cebu City. I had to go anyway, unfortunately, it was impossible to take pictures from the bus because it was too fast that the pictures become messed up (I only used my phone).

Summer Productive Addiction

Lately, there's really nothing to do. I'm also worried since the monitor's gonna be returned to the owner soon (yes, our monitor is broken so be borrowed an old one from my mother's friend). So, I want to do what I can do while it's still here.

Ramira Victoria San Juan suddenly chatted me in Facebook and I remembered that she owes me a drawing (lol. really). So, we decided to see each other at Jolibee near USC Main so she could give me the drawing. She brought her sketchbook and made me choose which I want (i thought she was going to give me a new one.XP ).

I got home and decided to color the drawing in Adobe Photoshop CS3. And here's the results of my boredom:




This is the drawing I got from Mira. Took me almost approximately 9 hours to finish this. XP


Mira told me about Kahlil's drawing and he's awesome. I was still bored and so I colored this one too. xD

Finally! ••F•R•E•E•D•O•M••!!

..is what I want to say. But I don't think that's going to happen soon. I'll be having a job this summer. Well, I do want to help decrease my parents' burden concerning my schooling's financial needs. And another thing is to satisfy my material desires. At least this will help me kill my time in a productive way.

I don't really feel the Yes!-Humana-ang-klase! feeling and I don't know why. Maybe because it ended up in a disappointing way. We were supposed to have our last(for our first year) laag to SM. At first, there were few who said they can't come along but they had good reasons. Then suddenly, for some reason, more than half of us weren't able to come (I know part of the reason and it's really disappointing). Well, anyway, we had fun at WoF (for those who came).

This is going to be a real LONG summer.

CSPF1 Shirt

The idea of making our t-shirt was decided when some of us from F1 went to SM. If I remember correctly, it was Jamila, Yuri, Kesiya, Von, Albie, Barrera, and myself who was there chatting idly in the Food Court. Hmmmm, an F1 t-shirt might really be a good idea. It should be fun if all of us are wearing the same shirt on a Wednesday.

The next thing we had to decide was about the design of the shirt. After choosing from few suggestions, we decided to have "chibi" drawings of each of us in F1 and put them in a huge capitalized "CSPF1" word. The funny thing is, "Albie" the father of F1, will be the same size as the huge capitalized "CSPF1".

Later on, Von started to draw the chibis since he can draw it best than the rest of us. Recently, the chibis left to draw is Roy Rusiana and Judilyn. Then for some uncertain reason, the editing job fell on me. I have to do it in Adobe Photoshop CS3. Even though it's really tiring, this job "distressifies" my mind. So far, I have only finished editing these four:

Can you guess who these guys are? :)

Learning

I've noticed this one thing while I was thinking how I only "fully" learn my lessons, people have different ways on learning.

Barrera told me before that he can only learn so much if it is explained to him by a good teacher. In other words, he's not good at self-studying. Albios, on the other hand, learns via "Insight Learning", it means instant learning, like the idea just pops in his head and then he gets the whole lesson already [this is no exaggeration]. Albios is officially categorized as "IMBA". I also noticed about our 'Discrete Structures' and 'Probability and Statistics' teacher, Ms. Em Parac, that she learns stuff by totally analyzing the topic. There was a time when there was a problem that she encountered at class. She suddenly stared into deep space like she can actually see through parallel dimensions and see the answers there. But actually, she thought through the problem and found the solution by mere analysis. Wow [with jaws down]! She truly is categorized "IMBA"!

Well, as for me, I've known this for a long time, I think I learn most in the middle of the test. Weird, isn't it? Sometimes, it kind of sucks because there are times when I lose time because of the loading delay. For that, I have discovered a solution. I don't think this works for everyone, but eating "white rabbit" candy in a middle of a test helps for me [I eat 5 of it every Analytic Geometry test. haha!]. It actually makes me think faster than usual.

An example of my learning style is in our Programming test. I didn't really get the whole idea of Structures in C programming, but when we were having our written exam, I actually got the hang of it. It took some loading time and I wasn't able to finish the whole exam. But the lacking ones were small details. I hope it'll be considered. :)

Goodbye CIT, Hello UP?

I'm still thinking this through.

That's right, even though the one [which I will hide in the name of "James Kenneth Cantago Albios"] who shared to me this idea of transferring to UP college already backed-out on this. I already tried to weigh the pros and cons, but it seems to me, that both almost weigh the same.

If I am to be in UP, aside from the conducive-to-learning environment, the tuition would be way cheaper. Another thing is that UP has a good name and reputation. It is also a Center of Excellence in Computer Studies, BUT if I transfer, I will surely have troubles catching up to my SMB1 [my DOST summer class friends] friends' lectures. Most probably, I will be left behind. Another big problem is that my DOST Scholarship privileges will be on hold for a whole semester.

Well, If I also leave CIT, I would really miss my PF1 friends. This might sound cheezy, but I've gotten really attached to them. They're like my second family now. Even though I am expecting this from the start, I got really sad when I heard some of us are going to shift courses or transfer schools[talk about hypocrisy.. (: ].

Well, as of now, I think staying in CIT is still the default decision. :)
